Neither borrowers nor lenders nor both be ....

what if the borrower is your boss or immediate superior who can does your performance appraisal or has the power to fire you?

Good question tankee Sensitive treading ground here.

I have personally never been in this situation before.

But I suppose it depends on the circumstances ie how well you know him, how big is the loan amt etc... I will subtly try to direct him to relevant avenues and he gets my hint

Somehow, though if I am the boss, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable asking money from my subordinates. The issue of respect and keeping personal life separate from work .. u know what I mean.

Any experiences on that?? Never heard of it. Usu its the other way ard, I would think.

I used to report to a guy who borrowed and never returned. Luckily he did not borrow money but items like laser pointers, stationaries, etc

Generally I prefer not to borrow but I am also pragmatic in certain situations, eg.performing costumes.


If I do borrow, I will take good care and return the item with a gift to the person.

If I do lend, I will see if the person is \"ngeow\" like me, i.e. the person will take good care.

So far no one has come to me to borrow big amounts because:
1. I don't look rich enough
2. I probably don't have
3. People around me are all richer

Hi All,


What will you do, if your best friend wants to borrow $$ from you, and he/she is verysure you have such amount inside your bank a/c...

[KSP]

"… … … well, well, well, … be prepared to write-off the amount you lend to your friend…"

[MMM]

Yah… prepare to write off the amount.


If not, then find some valid excuses to get out of the situation without "affecting" the relationship.
